ASIMO-Walking

Smoother and more Stable Walking | Intelligent Real-Time Flexible Walking
Intelligent Real-Time Flexible Walking  =  i-WALK
i-WALK technology features a predicted movement control added to the earlier walking control technology. This new two-legged walking technology permits more flexible walking. As a result, ASIMO now walks more smoothly and more naturally.
Creating Prediction Movement Control
When human beings walk straight ahead and start to turn a corner, before commencing the turn they shift their center of gravity toward the inside of the turn.
Thanks to i-WALK technology, ASIMO can predict its next movement in real time and shift its center of gravity in anticipation.

Intelligent, Real-Time, Flexible Walking Achieved!
1 Continuous movement is possible without pauses.
1 Continuous movement is possible without pauses.
Because continuous flexible walking is possible, ASIMO can move and walk rapidly and smoothly at all times.
2 In addition to changes in foot placement and turning, the stride (time per step) can be freely changed.
Robots up to the P3 turned according to combinations of stored walking patterns.
ASIMO creates walking patterns in real time and can change foot placement and turning angle at will. As a result, it can walk smoothly in many directions. In addition, because stride (time per step) can also be freely changed, ASIMO's movements are much more naturall.
